I thought this thread was gonna die before the second page but hey, as a bandwagoner, I can't help myself...

To answer OP's initial question... Obviously, no-one knows but, at the rate you are going, you might be able to answer that question for everybody... simply disregard the fact that the police are just looking for these type of cars so that they can justify their very existence within "the force" on a daily basis. Continue to drive your car as it sits then come back and tell us all what happens "if you get red stickered more than three times"..

I reckon the only reason no-one knows the answer is because, by the time they get their SECOND sticker... they have learnt their lesson and rectify the car so it complies with road rules.

Good luck out there!

So having a car that is "jdm spec" makes u a hoon? You cant be serious? STFU and GTFO while ur at it.

You seem excessively angry. Chill...

And yes, this car is what our today|today society brand's as a "hoon's car".

If the shoe fits....

Nah I just dont like keyboard warriors who act all high and mighty and start prancing around like their wannabe hwp. Its fair enough to have an oppinion but to just be a smart ass is annoying, especially when as the title of the thread states, all he wants is to know what penalties/dramas/etc occur if he was to get a third red sticker. And if aca has u believing that well it goes to show how strong an influence that fictional program has if it makes an car enthuasiast believe he/she must be a hoon due to the way their car has been aesthetically modified. Correct me if im wrong but I was under the impression 'hoon' was a label used to describe irresponsible and dangerous manners of driving a vehicle on public roads??

Best post on this thread

this thread makes me laugh.

Its funny that the more long term members here, dare I say, slightly more mature too (not saying op isnt or is etc) but majorty of us never have an issue with the law, police, whinge etc how bad it is. why is that? perhaps respect?

and if we have? we have learnt our lesson then and there.

oh, and feel free to have a go at me for replying here - Im just stating what I see. Feel free to label me a hater and tell me STFU too. Just saying how I see it in here.

As Marssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss said - totally agree.

... i agree with chris (evil_weevil) ... :) ...

... i am amazed every time this comes up ... defects arent handed out to people just to piss them off & give them an excuse to say "see the police are out to get me" ... no you morons ... you are giving the defect to yourselves ... all the police are doing is pointing out that youve defected your own car by doing whatever it is to defect it ... every country has "standards" for design & safety & engineering ... if you get a defect it because you deserve it ... its pretty simple to work out that if you dont mod your car up in a way that contradicts the "standards" you wont get a defect ... or i like to say this ... "if you dont want a defect placed on your car DONT place a decfect on your car" ... part of the conditions of your drivers licence & your registration being issued to you is that you comply with what is required "by law" around modding your car in an unconventioinal way ... if you get a moment check out my car in the garage ... its had every component modded in some way but its never had a defect because everything done to it is "legal" ... cheers malcolm :)

Cheers malcom..

Dunno if you read above I no why I'm getting defected the question was what happens if you get done 3 times?? If you don't no thats ok but I've read multiple posts that tell me why I'm getting done and there stories of "if they were a cop" all I wanted was to see if anyone knew what happens not the 20 others stories thanks

... i guess my question & answer to all of this is ... forget what happens when you get defected for a third time ... concentrate very hard on not ever getting defected a first time ! ... :) ...

Thought I'd do the good Samaritan:

I called up the RTA and had a chat to them out of curiosity about this; the person I spoke to had a big pause and asked me why, but anyway, the gist they gave me was that the process is still the same. They didn't think there were other penalties involved, but that the police might not look too favourably upon seeing the car in a defectable state after 3 red stickers.

HTH

Thankyou mate, I should of maybe rang up and asked before I posted this thread and started alot of bicaring

HTH

Hmm, also, remember to take everything you hear from the RTA with a grain (or a large shaker) of salt - you might ring there three times and ask the same question and get three different answers. If you do speak to someone, ask for their name and write it down, as well as the time you spoke to them and what you were told.

I'm pretty sure the question's been answered, and if not, then the best bet is to call them yourself (but don't forget what I just mentioned).

Alright, to save any further issues, this thread is now closed.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
